jQuery Ajax Request without loading results

Hey all, i'm really new to ajax and all i want to do is call an ajax function that doesn't return anything. I've used

$('#m开发者_高级运维yDiv').load('/ajaxScript.asp');

and that loads the results to myDiv just fine. I just want to run the ajax without returning anything at all. Just run my code. How do i do this? Also, how do i detect when it is done doing it's thing? Thanks all!

You can use $.ajax instead of load; which is basically an alias of $(receiver).load();

Documentation here: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Demo code here:

$.ajax({
  url: '/path/to/file',
  type: 'POST',
  dataType: 'xml/html/script/json/jsonp',
  data: {param1: 'value1'},
  complete: function(xhr, textStatus) {
    //called when complete
  },
  success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
    //called when successful
  },
  error: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    //called when there is an error
  }
});

Use the simple functions:

jQuery.post("{url}", {parameters}, function(data, status){}, "text");

or

jQuery.get("{url}", {parameters}, function(data, status){}, "text");

See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ or http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/. The function will get called when the request returns.
